The Governor in Council has recently con¬ sulted District Boards and local officers as to the qualifications and functions to be required of these officers. 16. Staff—Dr. C. A. Bentley, m.b., d.p.h.. was in charge of the office of Sanitary Commissioner, Bengal, and Mr. G. B. Williams of. the office of Sanitary Engineer throughout the year. The Dacca Circle alone was under the charge of a Deputy Sanitary Commissioner throughout the year, but by the end of the year all the vacancies in the superior sanitary cadre, which had been caused by officers being required for military duty, had been filled.
